IRON LADY

The video which played in the projector screen paused in the middle, and the light turned on.

Everyone was surprised and got up from their seats after seeing someone.

Angel got surprised and looked back and saw someone standing behind her. Angel seeing her for the first time.

Everyone said, 'Director Layla.'

Angel looked with surprised eyes as she imagined her face, which is totally different from what she saw now.

Director Layla, a lady who can kill others just with her sharp eye. From her appearance, she doesn't feel aged as she has a finely shaped face without any wrinkles, and from her long pixie haircut, she seems rude. But she is a kind and fair person who has the willpower to rule the world. The business world called her an iron lady after her success in the industry.

Director Layla tapped on Angel's shoulder and said, 'hello, my supergirl.'

Angel got surprised with Layla's friendliness as it feels like she knows Angel for a long time.

Angel bowed at her and said, 'hello ma'am, welcome.'

Layla said, 'so you are sweet as I hear; don't be polite, feel free here. I treat everyone the same. And Layla asked the staff, is not I?

The staff all said in one tone, 'yes, Director Layla is best in the world.'

'But I hear someone is not satisfied with me,' Director Layla said.

The staff starts to murmur to each other, 'who is it? Who is it?'

Director Layla walked towards the projector screen and said, 'are you going to explain or do I need to explain.'

No one replies.

Director Layla claps her hand and laughs out loud and said, 'I appreciate your guts.'

That sound gives a horror appearance in the meeting room as suddenly the laughing face of the Director turned into an angry face who seems arrogant.

Suddenly someone ran towards Layla and knee down.

'Ma'am, forgive me. I won't do it again. Ma'am, forgive me,' she said.

Director Layla smirks at her.

'Forgive me, ma'am,' she said, crying and begging for forgiveness.

Director Layla put a hand on her head and made her stood up by pulling her hair and said, 'how you dare ask sorry to me, Ms. Rima.'

Rima screams loudly, AAHHH as the head hurts badly.

Angel was shocked by Director Layla's action. That the kind lady suddenly changed to the evil one. Layla is the lady who is kind and fair to everyone, but if she gets angry and someone tries to destroy her, she will turn to a lady who doesn't have any heart. And she doesn't have mercy for them.

Director Layla said by pushing her to the ground, fire her, fire this stupid creature.

Rima cries loudly, kneeling on the ground as Angel is about to help her to stand up, but the CEO Young man next door dragged her hand and made her stop from doing so, as he knows his mom's temper more than anyone else. Angel still does not understand what is happening here. She wants to ask what is going on. But she kept silent as she saw the angry face of the director Layla.

Rima again begged, 'Ma'am, forgive me, please, don't fire me, ma'am.'

Layla shouted, security... security…

Two bodyguards came running, and Director Layla said to them, 'throw her out, make this stupid creature out of my sight.'

They pulled Rima and pushed her out of the company.

Her crying sound was all spread in the company.

Director Layla said, meeting canceled, everyone can go now.

Angel was confused about all these dramas. Angel and other staff took their documents and stuff and went out of the meeting room.

Angel went to her cabin and sat on her chair and rolled and asked herself, 'what is going on here. Do I look like stupid?'

Suddenly she heard a voice who is stupid?

She stops the rolling chair and gives an embarrassing smile. And she stood up from her seat.

'Director Layla, is anything needed?' Angel asked.

'No, I just came to talk to you as we only talked on phone calls,' Director Layla said.

Angel smiled and said to the director Layla sat on the sofa.

Layla sat on the sofa.

'I will bring anything to drink for you,' Angel said, and she went from there.

With a surprised eye, she went near to the coffee maker and said, 'how she changed in a few minutes. That angry face, her face full red, now it's like cute. How the tiger becomes a cat within a minute.'

She took the cappuccino and went back to her cabin and gave it to Layla.

Layla took it and asked, 'how do you know I like cappuccino?'

Angel smiled and said, 'CEO likes cappuccino lots, and he said to me, ' Director likes it too.'

'That's why he is my son, we are alike,' director Layla said.

Angel said in amazement, 'what? Son?'

Director Layla said, 'keep it as a secret, don't let others know about it, my son demanded, you know that his temper, don't let him know that I told you.'

Will Angel succeed in keeping the secret?

**************************

'It's Kmelia, the mean one,' Santi said. Kmelia took her food and sat on the opposite table.

Wanti said, 'don't say like that, Santi, she is not mean, maybe she has some reason.'

Aira looked at Kmelia and said to herself, 'why did I feel this face is familiar? Did I see her somewhere?'

Wanti called Kmelia and said to her, 'sit with us, Lia.'

Kmelia looked at them and said, looking at Wanti, 'No thanks.'

Dilna said, 'That's so mean.'

'See, I told naa she was so mean,' Santi added.

Aira is still looking at her.

Dilna suddenly asked, 'what are you still staring at? Your hubby is not here.'

Wanti and Santi asked, 'what? Hubby?'

Aira said, 'you, joker, bitch, I will kill you today.'

Dilna ran and took her food.

Aira runs after her, and both play like a kid.

Suddenly Dilna bumped into Kmelia, and the food Dilna holding where all fell on Kmelia's dress.

Kmelia becomes angry and shouted at Dilna.

Dilna said, 'sorry.'

Kmelia said, 'I don't want your sorry; keep that yourself.'

Dilna said, 'you're not only mean arrogant too.'

'Sorry, Kmelia. It's not Dilna's fault. It's my fault. Sorry, Lia. I will help you wipe it,' Aira said, and about to wipe the food in her dress, suddenly Kmelia pushed her Aira falls to the ground.

Kmelia said in shouting, 'I don't need anyone's help.'

Dilna is about to hit Kmelia but Aira grabbed her hand and made an expression like don't do anything.

Kmelia walked from there.

Twins Wanti and Santi ran towards Aira and helped Aira get up. And they asked, 'are you okay.'

Aira's eyes fill with water as her hand hurts badly; it's bleeding. But Aira noticed one thing and said in her mind, 'I saw that dress somewhere, where I did saw.'

*******************

What is going to happen with Kmelia? Will she become an enemy of Aira?

Why did Director Layla fir Rima? What she did?

Will Layla become godmother for Angel?

I know it's not that curious, let's just read the next chapter…

"Sometimes our willpower will give us the name Iron Lady. Sometimes a successful woman will fit the name Iron Lady, and sometimes it will be more appropriate for the mean person. "
